RFK Jr Challenges Donald Trump to a presidential debate!
Twitter/X ^ | April 27 | RFK

Posted on 04/27/2024 11:56:12 PM PDT by RandFan

@RobertKennedyJr

When frightened men take to social media they risk descending into vitriol, which makes them sound unhinged. President Trump's rant against me is a barely coherent barrage of wild and inaccurate claims that should best be resolved in the American tradition of presidential debate. President Trump, who has proven himself the most adept debater in modern American political history, should not be panicked to meet me on that stage.

To preview my arguments, I will show how President Trump betrayed the hopes of his most sincere followers. He promised to end the Ukraine war and then colluded with Speaker Johnson and President Biden to fund it. He let Big Pharma and his corrupt bureaucrats run roughshod over him as President. He promised to cut the deficit and ran up the biggest debt in history. He promised to run the government like a business and then closed down our businesses. He promised to drain the swamp and then filled his administration with swamp creatures. He promised to protect our rights and then torpedoed the Constitution.

Instead of lobbing poisonous bombs from the safety of his bunker, let’s hear President Trump defend his record to me mano-a-mano by respectful, congenial debate.

To any conservatives or independent who think RFKJ is a good “alternative” choice to Trump:

“RFKJ has been a longtime friend and supporter of Hillary Clinton, has praised her character, campaigned for her and actually called her ‘great,’ should tell you all you need to know about this guy.

Robert Kennedy Jr. is a seriously flawed individual. As a teenager he was expelled from two boarding schools for drug use and arrested for possession of marijuana. Years later he became a heroin addict and was arrested again for possession of that substance. (His younger brother David died of a drug overdose). He’s for same-sex marriage and LGBTQ privileges.

RFK gets very worked up over big businessmen who don’t believe in global warming, and has expressed a wish to imprison them.”

Kennedy wants a debate in the same fashion as Nikki Haley wanted one — to make him a legitimate contender. And Trump should not debate Kennedy to give him legitimacy.

Your forgetting who started this. Trump never should have called Kennedy out on social media if he's unwilling to engage with him in a public forum.

“Why give this clown legitimacy by debating him? He’s not gonna be president. Either the demonrat or Republican nominee will. The rest is noise.”

exactly ...

EVERYONE fell for the COVID lies. No one suspected the people in charge would lie to this extent. Trump was lied to along with everyone else.

The truth only came out later, after the damage was done, after they used it to rig the elections.

Honestly when you get to the core of RFK..he’s kind of nutty.
Smarter than your average leftard but still kind of nutty.

Even with those sympathies as they might be, I wouldn’t vote for him because of is life’s legacy of American Camelot AND the fact there is no chance for him. He is either a despoiler to Trump or Biden. In the first case, that’s bad. The second is the better but not if Trump has to divert attention to him one bit. And a debate is out of question because he’s not a viable candidate in any sense, IMO.

Unless the end result is to siphon some votes from the Clown in Chief?

“Your forgetting who started this. Trump never should have called Kennedy out on social media if he’s unwilling to engage with him in a public forum.”

“who started this”???

You mean you believe that Kennedy’s attacks on Trump, in a public forum, would go unanswered and that Kennedy would have never in a million years challenged Trump to a debate?

Just like Nikki Haley, or DeSantis, Kennedy wants to get on the debate stage with Trump to make idiots like you think he is co-equal in competition with Trump.

If you want to dig deep into your wallet and finance Kennedy’s reparations to non-slaves by people who never owned slaves, have at it. Not to mention his support of baby murder.

Personally I think all of the choices are bad. Trump is the least bad of the bunch.

Trump should ignore RFK, who can’t evern get support fro his own family, and concentrate on demented Joe.

Meh...Kennedy’s call for a debate was a direct (and immediate) response to Trump calling him a ‘Democrat plant’ on social media, which as far as I can tell was unsolicited. Prior to that exchange I don’t think Kennedy was needling Trump at all.

If Trump doesn’t want to give Kennedy a platform he shouldn’t take cheap shots at him, especially if he isn’t willing to back up his rhetoric with action.

I agree with you there and you just got to hope that if Trump wins he doesn’t spend like a drunken sailor

The House will be led by Democrats thanks to the utter failure of the House GOP so there will be much to stop

Would Trump sign all their spending demands ?

It’s a legit question/concern of mine.

I think Trump is a big government Republican. But one thing he’ll want to do is get even with the Deep State, and one way to do that would be to cut spending. You can’t just fire people for political reasons, but if you cut their budgets then they will be gone. I think I could find a few hundred billion in cuts.

Meh...He was. We do have an internet to look up things, in case you want to get off your ass and find it.

And is Kennedy One Who No One Can Raise Their Eyes And Look Upon In All His Majesty????

RFK jr called the NRA “terrorists” so good bye to gun rights. He is an extreme green psycho environmentalist so good bye to natural gas while he quadruples the price of electricity.
Of course he hates big business and loves lawsuits so every leftist lawfirm will be all in to reap billions from his mandates. He has always been hard left.

I went back on RFKjr.'s Twitter timeline a few weeks looking for something he may have said publicly to trigger President Trump into attacking him.

There were no insulting posts directed at Trump, but among other things there were several interesting clips of RFKJr. talking with Glenn Beck.

Robert Kennedy Jr. Glenn Beck Interview 4/17/24

So it looks like you were WRONG about Kennedy needling Trump first (no surprise), but thanks anyway for making me look or I would have missed the Beck interview. 😉

The risk is that RFK could replace Kamala if Trump makes him a star.

LOL. Funniest thing I have read today. That is like saying someone who is a card-carrying lifelong communist can be the GOP Presidential candidate.
